Nine Hundred and Seventy: 3 All-Defensive Team Players

After the Western Conference Finals came to Oakland, the Warriors' morale was high.

From players to fans, they firmly believe that the next two home games will become a nightmare for the Grizzlies.

"I certainly think the Warriors are going to win the game, and as you saw, their five-small lineup is unmatchable."

"Grizzlies, prepare to tremble! You will encounter the most violent attacks at Oracle Arena!"

"This is the first time the Western Conference Finals has come to Oracle Arena. I believe this will also be the beginning of a new era."

Before the game started, ESPN reporters randomly interviewed several fans waiting to line up outside the Oracle Arena.

The results are obvious, they are full of confidence!

Since last season, no team has ever allowed the Grizzlies to lose at home in the playoffs.

It was the Golden State Warriors who broke this record, and almost everyone thought this was a signal for the Warriors to completely break the Grizzlies' dominance.

The Warriors definitely have the strength to surpass the Grizzlies this year, both in terms of regular season record and playoff performance.

Now that the game returns to the Warriors' home court, local fans are naturally looking forward to it.

On the other side, the Warriors players are also very motivated. They had already tasted the sweetness in the last game, and sometimes as long as they can win once, they will find that the opponent is not that terrible.

"We will come to the court with the determination to win." Curry said in an interview with a firm attitude.

"The last time we met at Oracle Arena, we were overturned by Link at the last moment. But today, such a thing will definitely not happen." Klay Thompson is ready for revenge at home.

"I said, Link and the Grizzlies are not invincible. Today, I will let them continue to taste defeat. We will try to win both home games, and finally on their territory, in front of their fans , end it all with your own hands!”

Draymond Green's speech was naturally the most ferocious. He was very proud of his victory in the last game.

The Warriors play five small lineups, and Green is the most comfortable one. He is very happy playing in such a system.

He firmly believes that he can continue to drag Gasol and Whiteside to death today!

The entire Bay Area was immersed in extreme enthusiasm and joy, as if they were sure they would win before the game even started.

"Tch, it just equalized the total score. Look at how they were yelling." Tony Allen looked around the Oracle Arena stands and couldn't help but complain.

"It doesn't matter, let them cheer. After all, this is their last chance to cheer." Link continued to warm up on his own, not caring about the dancing Warriors fans.

Link is very confident, not only because the Grizzlies have the strength to deal with small lineups, but also because everyone's fighting spirit is very high.

After chatting with Carter about the spring of 2001 yesterday afternoon, Link felt the fighting spirit burning in Carter's body.

Even a 38-year-old veteran who came on the bench was so excited, let alone others.

The miracle of winning three consecutive championships is right in front of us, and no one will let it go easily!

Before the game started, the Warriors' appearance ceremony was very fancy.

Curry and his teammates all had their own moves, which looked simply cool.

And what about Link? He just hugged Carter before coming out, that's all.

"Boy, work hard. I will definitely protect the advantage you have gained during the rotation!" Carter whispered in Link's ear. Although the sound was not loud, Link could feel the power contained in it.

"I believe in you, Vince. Use your three-point shot to teach them a lesson."

After a few simple words, the two separated, and Link's entrance ceremony was over.

When the Grizzlies' starting five came on the stage, there was another commotion.

"Harris, Link, Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler and Conley...the Memphis Grizzlies actually fielded a five-small lineup! Ladies and gentlemen, hold your breath. Today, we will witness A wonderful offensive battle!" Mike Brin swallowed, he didn't expect Joger to be so bold.

When people think of grizzly bears, what are their first impressions?

It's nothing more than the black and white bears, strong inside dominance, slow-paced positional warfare, iron-clad defense, and Link...

These things are all labels of the Grizzlies. Among the labels that represent the Grizzlies, there is no such thing as a small lineup.

The Grizzlies are now sacrificing their inside advantage, which also means they won't continue to rely on positional warfare to win. There is no doubt that the changes made by the Grizzlies are disruptive.

People did think that the Grizzlies might field a small lineup to compete with the Warriors during the game, but no one thought that the Grizzlies would directly start five small lineups.

"Damn, are they so decisive?" Cole stood on the sidelines and cursed secretly, seeming a little nervous.

"It doesn't matter. Although they are all five small lineups, our configuration is more complete and we are more familiar with this lineup." Next to Cole, Warriors assistant coach Luke Walton seemed quite relaxed.

He believes that the Grizzlies are definitely not as good as the Warriors in the use of five small lineups.

While everyone was shocked, Link, Butler and Tony Allen looked at each other and then nodded slightly.

No one noticed that the Grizzlies put all three players selected for the All-Defensive Team into the starting lineup...

The Grizzlies' formation changes heated up the already intense game again. Death Five vs. Death Five, this is a matchup that fans did not expect.

Green and Tobias Harris stepped into the center circle. There may be few games like today, where the players sent by both sides to compete for the ball are so short.

Green had a joking smile on his face. In his opinion, the Grizzlies' following the five-small lineup was simply seeking death!

In the last game, the height of Gasol and Whiteside put Green under tremendous pressure. As a result, today, the grizzly bear actually took the initiative to withdraw from the altitude.

Green believes that this has actually unlocked his shackles. Today, he is going to beat the grizzly bear to pieces!

Most of the Warriors players actually have the same idea as Green. The Grizzlies also changed their five-small lineup. Doesn't this mean that the entire game will be played at the rhythm that the Warriors like.

In this way, the game will definitely be quite enjoyable!

The referee throws the basketball into the air and the game officially begins.

Green jumped up excitedly and flicked the basketball away.

The moment Curry caught the basketball, all four Warriors players without the ball were running, and no one was standing still waiting.

This is the biggest difference between the Warriors' offense and other teams' offenses.

Endless running means frequent position changes.

As long as there is a mismatch opportunity, the Warriors players are sure to score the ball!

In the last game, Livingston often switched to Harris, taking advantage of Harris's shortcomings of not being able to keep up with his footsteps and repeatedly getting layups. But today, no matter how he changed, he couldn't get a mismatch opportunity!

Whether it is Butler, Tony Allen or Link, they will not fall behind against Livingston.

Today, the Grizzlies used an unlimited defense strategy, which was enough to kill the Warriors' mismatch advantage!

What's more, the Grizzlies now have three All-Defensive Team-level players on the field. Although Gasol's height has been removed, the Grizzlies' defense is still strong!

In the end, Curry chose to break through the penalty area through the screen. Since the Grizzlies currently have no height inside, attacking the basket is the best option.

However, Curry was just halfway through when the basketball in his hand was cut off by Tony Allen who suddenly came out!

Before the Warriors players could even react to what happened, the Grizzlies immediately counterattacked!

In the last game, the Warriors relied on the quick counterattack of a small lineup to defeat the Grizzlies. Taking advantage of the gap where the Grizzlies defense was not in place to end the offense, the Warriors achieved a very high shooting percentage.

Today, the Grizzlies' counterattack looks faster than the Warriors!

In a flash, Link caught the basketball in the Warriors half. At this time, Barnes, the defensive player closest to him, has also been thrown away by two positions.

Under the astonished gazes of all the Warriors fans, Link performed a windmill dunk in the air and swung the ball into the frame.

The Grizzlies seem to have no problem adapting to such a fast pace!

After scoring the goal, Link pointed to Tony Allen, who completed the steal and assist, to express his gratitude.

All the fans at the scene thought this was just an accident, but Link knew very well that this was just the tip of the iceberg of the strength of the three best defensive team players!

Link believes that after this game is over, this year's All-Defensive Team will not be so insignificant.
